Flip job!
I personally don't mind guys asking whatever they want for a car they're selling, regardless of what they paid for it and when. HOWEVER, I don't like to be lowballed by flippers who are tryig to beat you down on something so they can make the buck on it!!
Case in point.... I have my GTX for sale and am asking a fair price for what the car is. I get two different guys come look at it, both known to be flippers in my area. One is pretty honest and puts out a lowball offer and tells me he knows I won't take it, which I don't.
The other guy however comes out with this story of how his wife authorized him to spend only so much on a car, and he lowballs me, telling me that he needs the extra $$ left on his cap to make it into the car he wants it to be. He also tells me that he was a broker for a musclecar dealership in my area. I decline his offer and tell him I'm not in a hurry to sell it and am holding to my bottom line!! About a week later his Dad calls me and tells me that HE was actually the one who was interested in the car and just sent his son to look at it, and he wants to know what my real bottom line is!! I politely tell him that I'm not happy with the line of bullshit that his son laid on me, and my bottom line is exactly what I told his son it was, and if he was interested in it for that to come out and look at it himself, and bring the $$, not another bullshit lowball offer!!!
So, to clear up a couple of threads here...yes, I don't like to be lowballed by flippers looking to make a buck on my car, AND.... yes, I tell it like it is, whether it is behind the keyboard or face to face!!! Geof
